1. Xanadu (best heard in a continuous unbroken sequence preceded by Broon’s Bane and The Trees on Exit Stage Left)
2. Freewill (so many seamless time signature changes and each part smoothly transitions, culminating in a complex combined bass / guitar solo … and Geddy hits some vocal pitches that rival Mariah Carey)
3. The Spirit of Radio (nice guitar riff intro and pure positive energy)
4. Tom Sawyer (this is driven by percussion grooves and fills)
5. Subdivisions (nostalgic synth lines)
6. Limelight (interesting quirky punchy guitar riff trading off with lovely arpeggiated minor chord voicings and a dynamic guitar solo)
7. The Big Money (hear Geddy play intricate bass lines while singing … how can you leave it off the list?)

It's very difficult to choose only 7 songs, here's my list:

1. Xanadu
2. By-Tor & and the Snow Dog
3. Cygnus X-1 Book II
4. Natural Science
5. Here Again
6. 2112 suite
7. The Camera Eye

There are too many songs left out (Working Man, A Farewell to Kings, The Spirit of Radio, La Villa Strangiato, Mission, The Pass, etc, etc and etc)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
